Two-Thirds Of College Grads Regret Their Diploma, Costs And Major

[Unkotare]

If you are unemployable for life because you did not get along, you are not only a loser, but a quitter

I was driven out of college for being a heartless asshole, ie Republican. But I managed to scratch out a living without a college degree. A lot of these colleges grade you based on your politics not on your ability.

That is not true. #1 reason people fail out of college is that they don’t study, don’t attend class, or dont do the work. The number who fail out while trying is small. The number that fail out trying because of politics is zero.

You are wrong. I was given F's on my book reports because she didn't like my opinion, not because she didn't like my ability to write. Those F's led to me flunking her class. I'm not the only one driven out of College because of politics. More recently I was fired because of a political point of view I posted on FB. It had nothing to do with work but some fellow employee demanded they fire me, or else, and they did. They are trying to make it so that we can't express Conservative points of view without being boycotted, fired, driven out of Restaurants and other businesses etc. And they harass conservatives in College and effect their grades until they drop out. or, antifa throws a cement shake on them and beats them up.

What opinions, exactly? Sounds fishy.

I thought people, in books, should accept the consequences of their own actions instead of blaming someone else who happened to be the one enforcing the consequences on them for actions they themselves have done. At the time I rode a bike to school in torrential rain storms about 3 miles. My diet consisted of hotdogs and pepsi. So I had very little empathy towards other peoples problems considering none of them gave a fuck about my problems.

Sounds like you talked yourself into trouble by mistaking your opinion (a little whiny, at that) and analysis. From your further comments it seems likely you responded to critique in a less than mature and reasoned manner. "Accept the consequences of their own actions" indeed.

Is that the basis upon which you experience empathy or not? You're not a Christian, are you?

So, there were torrential rains every single day and you never ate anything but hot dogs and Pepsi? How did you stay alive?

That may be true. But, before Critique came the F on my paper and the words "selfish asshole" on my paper. That is not proper critique. But you are right. After getting that F I handled it wrong. I had a Guidance counselor who was willing to fight for me I should've let her. I didn't do a good job picking my battles back then.

I was then. I'm Agnostic now. I believe all known Religions, I know about, are man made not God made. If God exists he doesn't exist in those religions. They wrote story's to control the serfs to keep them working for pennies believing their rewards would be after death and thus keeping them continuing on their paths of serfdom. Aristocrats were God chosen so deserved to be waited on. etc. Those days are over.

As a child I believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny. Then I grew up. I once believed in God. And I grew up again. I'm still a weak mortal but I don't believe in the fairy tale that some old man is going to make everything better in some afterlife.

That last semester I had to sell everything I owned to survive. I was big into gaming and had to sell thousands in gaming supplies for pennies. It was also rain season, easier to remember the bad days than the good. Winn Dixie had a special; 2 hotdogs and a pepsi for 0.50 cents. That was all I could afford to eat during he week. I would go to school early. Spend my out of class time in either the computer room or he rec hall. Road back home late at night. Every Sunday my father would come and visit and we'd go to the laundry mat and do my laundry. eating in a restaurant he made me, paying too much for food, with money that would've been better spent at the grocery store. The rent was paid because I paid the entire Semester worth up front. The last month I was there, right before I was kicked out of college for flunking English, I lived without electricity but the water still worked so I got cold showers in the dark. I would sit huddle by a window staring at the lights of other apartments fantasizing I had an extension cord to string from their place to mine. Enough for a TV and a Light. But I didn't even have that. When they gave me notice that I was to no re-enroll in their college I was too tired to fight them. Went to live with my father at the age of 27 leaving behind everything I owned except that which would fit in a pair of duffel bags. Another Chapter of my life came to a close to start a new one of endless struggle and survival.

I always wanted to write a book about my life, but why bother I would never find a publisher to publish it.

So you abandoned morality as well? That's unfortunate.

It was 1992, but even so, it was a great deal.

How have I abandoned morality? Besides an argument can be made that what is morale is dependant on the person doing the name calling.

Not very healthy, but cheap.

If you can't feel empathy unless someone is going to give you something? That's how.

I really can't give a shit about anything at all unless I have something to eat first, and if I do have anything to eat, then I definitely need to take a shit somewhere.

People make life more difficult than it needs to be when they can't take a shit out of their own ass, and they've gotta fuck with somebody else's shit instead.

I feel empathy. I don't waste time thinking about folks I can't help though. Not enough hours in the day. That doesn't mean I never think about them.

 

[justinacolmena]

I feel empathy.

Some people feel Schadenfreude; it really doesn't matter how people “feel” about it or how they justify to themselves the Holocaust war crimes they are perpetrating. I have no use for other people's “feelings” as such, as I cannot, or I do not manipulate them in that way.

I need money, food, clothing, shelter, and toiletries, a lot of the same stuff everybody else needs on a daily basis as well. I cannot obtain any of that stuff from people like you because you and your fellow Nazis have locked me out of your closed-shop systems of trade, business, and labor.

Democratic Socialists like you are in reality democratic sociopaths. America's present-day Holocaust can no longer be denied: the mass murderers will be brought to justice, but it will be a slow, painful process for everyone involved.

The Libs call me a Trumpster, you call me a socialist. Check out my post history before you start judging me. Not just my posts in a single thread, but all of them.

I spent 51k of borrowed money to get my AA degree. Damn right I regret that. Wish I had gone to Trucking school instead.
